The property sits on a substantial, well-maintained and regularly shaped site with garden area formed to the front, and large area laid to lawn to the rear, with a tarmac carpark providing 26 car spaces, including two disabled bays, access to which is via a metal twin leaf locking gate. Outstanding views are afforded over the local countryside.
Internally, the property is formed on a single floor and is subdivided to form large reception area (two separate access points), main worship area with large ancillary room, kitchen, 9 office style rooms, male, female and disabled toilet accommodation, font, and cleaners cupboard.

The toilets are formed off the main hallway and comprise separate male, female and disabled facilities. There is a kitchen which is fitted with wall and floor mounted kitchen units as well as a stainless steel sink and drainer.
Heating within the building is via a gas-fired central heating system which serves water filled radiators.
Alternative uses
The building would represent an excellent opportunity for conversion to residential use, either as a substantial single dwellinghouse or for redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents being obtained.
Alternatively, the existing buildings could be used in their existing form by a church organisation,
youth group, sports club, dance company, charity or similar type operator.
In addition, there is potential to convert for a number of commercial uses e.g. children’s nursery, craft centre, art gallery, medical centre etc. subject to planning.
